DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to FIGS. 1 through5 thereof, a new wearable clothing and accessory system embodying theprinciples and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generallydesignated by the reference numeral 10 will be described.

As best illustrated in FIGS. 1 through 5, the wearable assembly 10generally comprises a shoe 12 having an upper section 14 and a solesection 16. The sole section 16 is attached to and covers a bottom 18 ofthe upper section 14. The upper section 14 may be comprised of plastic,leather, canvas or other material conventionally used to manufacture theupper section 14 of shoes. The sole section 16 may be comprised ofrubber, polyurethane, polyvinyl chloride or other materialconventionally used to manufacture the sole section 16 of shoes. A topedge 20 of the upper section 14 defines an opening 22 into an interiorspace 24 of the upper section 14 wherein the interior space 24 isconfigured for receiving a foot of a wearer 26. The upper section 14 hasa slot 28 positioned therein, as conventional found in athletic shoes.The slot 28 extends from a first end 30 of the top edge 20 toward a toe32 of the shoe 12 and curves back around toward a second end 34 of thetop edge 20.

A panel 36 is attached to the upper section 14 and extends betweenopposite sides 38, 40 of the slot 28. The panel 36 has a slit 42extending downwardly into an upper edge 44 of the panel 36 defining afirst side 46 of the panel 36 and a second side 48 of the panel 36. Aclosure 50 is attached to the panel 36 and releasably couples the firstside 46 and the second side 48 of the panel 36 together. The closure 50may comprise a zipper 52 attached to and coextensive with the slit 42. Atongue 54 is attached to the upper section 14. An upper surface 56 ofthe tongue 54 abuts a lower surface 58 of the panel 36.

A sock 60 is removably coupled to the shoe 12. The sock 60 is couplableto the shoe 12 proximate the top edge 20 of the upper section 14. Thesock 60 has a first end 62 and a second end 64 that may each be open. Afastener 66 releasably couples the sock 60 to the shoe 12 and comprisesa first mating member 68 attached to the sock 60 and a second matingmember 70 attached to the shoe 12. The first mating member 68 isengageable with the second mating member 70 for releasably coupling thesock 60 to the shoe 12. The first mating member 68 is attached to thefirst end 62 of the sock 60. The second mating member 70 is attached tothe shoe 12 proximate the top edge 20 of the upper section 14. Thefastener 66 may comprise a zipper 72 wherein the first mating member 68is attached to and coextensive with the first end 62 of the sock 60 andthe second mating member 70 is attached to and may be coextensive withthe top edge 20 of the upper section 14.

A belt 74 may be provided that is positionable in a closed loop 75configured to be worn around a waist region 76 of the wearer 26. Acoupler 78, such as a buckle, snaps or the like, is attached to the belt74 for securing the belt 74 in the closed loop 75 around the wearer'swaist region 76. The belt 74 has a first surface 80 opposite a secondsurface 82. The first surface 80 may have a same color as the sock 60and a same color as an outer surface 84 of the upper section 14 so thatthe entire assembly 10 matches in color. In particular, the belt 74, theupper section 14 and the sock 60 may each have a fluorescent color. Thesecond surface 82 of the belt 74 may be a different color from the coloron the first surface 80 of the belt 74 so that the belt 74 isreversible. The belt 74 may be constructed from a flexible material,such as fabric, leather or the like.

In use, the sock 60 is attached to the shoe 12 and the shoe 12 is wornin conventional fashion. After use, the sock 60 can be detached from theshoe 12 for washing of the sock 60 or to permit the shoe 12 to be wornwith a different sock. The belt 74 can be worn around the wearer's waistregion 76 in a conventional manner.

With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized thatthe optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodimentenabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials,shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, aredeemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and allequivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings anddescribed in the specification are intended to be encompassed by anembodiment of the disclosure.

Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of theprinciples of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications andchanges will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is notdesired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operationshown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications andequivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of thedisclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used inits non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word areincluded, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. Areference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not excludethe possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless thecontext clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
